[MacDV] Re: Burning Speeds

[Gerhard Kuhn]

Followed your recommendation and installed Patch Burn 3 and it worked 
just as you said, I burned a working disk straight from iDVD.  2 minute 
movie, motion menu total time from hitting the burn button to finished 
disk 10 minutes.

Thanks for the heads up
